She Has Arrived...Early!!! :)

Hi Everyone, this is Aunt Rae Rae reporting on Amanda and Les' behalf since they are still at the hospital... Madeline Brooke Lawless arrived yesterday afternoon at 3:27 pm... she came out weighing a a whopping 5 pounds and 11.8 ounces, and 18 3/4 inches long...she is just a lil peanut!!! haha...she couldn't be more beautiful or amazing.. she is a gorgeous mix of her mom and dad... Amanda's labor was very brief. She started contractions at 6 am and by 10 am we (my momma, me, Amanda and Les) were at the hospital and she was getting checked in. Once the nurse checked her and saw that she had dilated to 4cm they knew this was not false labor! Her contractions were pretty close together and getting stronger ... by 11 she had received her epidural and was lovin life! Her Dr. came in and checked on her at 12:30 and she was at 7cm and he broke her water.. he said Maddie would be here by 3:30 that afternoon. My dad got there at 2:30 and amanda began to push at 3:00..he got there just in time! She pushed for about 30 minutes and by 3:27 Maddie was in the world! It was absolutely unbelieveable.. there are no words to describe how amazing Amanda did and how it felt to witness this little miracle being born. I am so happy that she is here and safe..now its time to spoil her! Les and Amanda will be wonderful parents, they are so great with her already. Les' parents arrived right after Maddie's Birth and they were there to hold her and meet her as well. Les' parents were there, my parents were there, I was there, and some of the band came by to meet her too! Well the whole family should be home tonight or tomorrow.. I know everyone is anxious to meet her and hold her... but i do have some pictures for now so everyone can see this precious little girl.. Thank you for all the prayers they worked.. Madeline Brooke is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
